Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • As many SCSS to CSS pairs as the theme needs. Both paths are relative to the active theme
  • A Frontend or Admin context per pair, enqueued on the matching hook
  • A cache-busting version per pair, applied to the stylesheet URL through the style_loader_src filter
  • Versions move only when that pair’s compiled CSS really came out different
  • Import tracking. Edit a partial and the next admin page load rebuilds
  • Compressed output for production, expanded when you need to read it
  • Auto-compile on missing or stale CSS, so a deploy does not leave the site unstyled
  • An optional recompile timer on the settings page. Off by default
  • Auto-enqueue that steps aside when a stylesheet URL is already registered
  • A Theme CSS status table listing the stylesheets it finds in the active theme
  • Compile button with live feedback and a persistent error panel
  • Compiled CSS is swapped into place atomically, so a visitor is never served a half-written stylesheet

Details

Compile SCSS to CSS in the WordPress admin. No Node.js, no npm, no build step. Several file pairs, per-file cache busting, rebuild on change.
